So on Friday we visited Raisa's new (well, new to me, anyway) and beautifully co-ordinated home in Burnaby, a mysterious place to the east. Seeing as the greater Vancouver area is experiencing a water purity issue (we're turbid!), and there's a don't wash, don't tell veg warning in effect, we decided to prepare our meal without the use of water (if at all possible).

So we used a lot of Raisa's giant can of olive oil instead. And it was yummy. The vegetables were roasted with lemon and garlic and picked rosemary (and of course oil), the beef was grilled, and the potatoes were parboiled and then oiled. Mm. And there may have been alcohol involved in the meal (only to make up for the lack of water, of course!). Results:

About WeDine

It all started with friendly Friday potlucks as beleaguered design students in search of a home-cooked meal, and upon graduation evolved into Wednesday Dinners, a mid-week refuge from work. After a few months we realized we were improving and had begun to think of food in new ways. We wanted to document these successes (and sometimes, failures) – and thus was born WeDine.

Here's how it works: each Wednesday, we discuss our current cravings, take inventory of what's on hand, meet at a market to gather fresh ingredients which will complete our improvised menu, and finally head home to cook together.

(Oh, and by the way, we now document all our food loves and adventures here!)
